NOVEL CHANGE… Got my schedule back on track after yesterday. Slept until 2 p.m., then met the movers at the office at 3 p.m. to have them move the 180 boxes and a ton of shelves up into the loft area of the office. Then I got some walking in with the guys, talking about […]

WHAT A DAY… Got up very, very, very early for me to get into the office to meet the movers. For the first two hours two large truck-loads and five pick-up truck loads left the building headed to either charity places or the dump or someone’s home. Massive numbers of shelves, tables, store displays, chairs, wood, […]

December Online Workshops Starting… Still time to get in, but last day for getting into the workshops this month. And this will be a short post tonight. A filler. I have to be up early because tomorrow the movers arrive early at WMG and we move offices around inside the building. Then my life can return […]

December Online Workshops Letters Sent… Also, for those of you in the anthology workshop in late February, the first anthology topic has gone out. If you didn’t get it, write me off list. So online workshops starting and a coast workshop started. Great fun. And still room in all of the December online workshops as […]

December Online Workshops Letters Sent… Besides all the moving stuff at the office and packing, I spent the evening sending out the letters for the December online workshops. If you think you are signed up for a December online workshop and didn’t get a letter, write me. And still room in all of them. They […]

This is a filler post… Just want to keep the streak running, so just doing a filler post early tonight so I can claim I wrote a post every day for all those days in a row. (grin) The day was normal Friday. Lots of errands, lots of banking, and more on the move until […]

Wrote Too Much… Yeah, that sounds stupid, doesn’t it? (grin) But it is the truth. Got wrapped up in the novel and ended up not getting enough time to do a topic blog tonight, continuing the artistic freedom line of topics. Ahh, well, another night. Day was busy, did some walking with the guys, meetings […]

Fiction River that I Co-Edited Now Out… Felicia Fredlund and I co-edited a volume of Fiction River that is now coming out. It’s a really fun volume and I picked some stories Felicia would have never picked and she picked some I never would have picked. And we had fun discussions about them and because […]

Meetings and Moving Boxes… Spent most of the day either in meetings or moving boxes in the big office shift-around that is happening this coming week. I did something I probably am going to regret tomorrow. I moved an entire Playboy Magazine collection. Yes, I said entire, from the first issue up until 2005. Fifty […]
